A Crochet Baby Blanket

My Aunt made me this blanket for me when I was born. It is so pretty!  This pattern that follows is not exactly the one, but it is very close.



         I have been looking for the pattern for 2 years now, but did not find one that resembled it until now!




And here is the pattern that is similiar to the one I have. More of a vintage look, but quite pretty too!

Crochet Alice-inspired mitt pattern

This a Mitt pattern I am trying.....






Author

Ellie Thouret

Introduction

I love the knitted mittens that Alice wears in New Moon but I’m not confident enough in my knitting to tackle them. Here’s a crochet version for crafters like me.

Materials List

4mm (G) hook
Worsted-weight yarn
I used a 4mm hook and the New Moon colourway yarn from Bristol County Dyeworks. It's a great, soft worsted yarn. My hands are slim but I've received some comments that the mitts are coming out too big. If this is the case, I'd recommend going down to a 3.5mm hook.

Finished Size

Approx. 30cm in length

Gauge

Gauge
5 hdc per inch
3 rows per inch

A hat for Gracie

It was very easy.....
